I've tried clams, it didn't workGlad you took the idol out, they don’t belong in a 75g. As for the cbb they don’t always eat aiptasia. Try a clam on the half shell as well. They are not too difficult of a fish.

Yea, there's some feather dusters in there too, not any huge ones but some good sized ones. I'm worried now just bc he doesn't seem to be interested in eating at all. The only sign of parasites is one white spot on its beak and breathing a little heavy but not far from normal.Have any feather dusters? They love those. My experience is after they picked clean the rocks then they start accepting frozen.
Well I thought that a qt tank might help getting him to start eating. I'm wondering if that might be the best idea thoughQt’ing fish is just a stressor, best to just dump them in the dt, imo. When it comes to “difficult” fish, I’ve found this the best method, then again I don’t qt regardless.
this is all he's been doing lately
Thanks for the info, I don't think it has any since he was eating yesterday, I feel like he just quit from stressThey often arrive with Injuries to the mouth. Check closely and treat with anti biotic if needed. Clams and live black worms are usually the best bet.
They are difficult fish at first, but if you can get them settled they do well.
Best of luck.

Only a good idea if you are comfortable in jeopardizing your existing fish.
Adding a dither fish to qt would be an option.
Can you post a video of it's breathing? I can't see it in the one you posted, but I don't think there's anything wrong with his swim patterns in that video. Also, a good pic of the white spot would help but as mentioned above, beak injuries are common with transport of these guys. It could possibly be Lymphocystis which is very common with stressed out Copperbands but I think that usually starts on the fins (but I'm not sure). It's usually harmless and goes away on its own.Yea, there's some feather dusters in there too, not any huge ones but some good sized ones.

Qting difficult and timid fish often can help them have success. They can get used to food without competition and can avoid any intimidation from tankmates.
